HCA: Hermit Crab Association

Ok here we go.




Also here's a pic of the other little guy digging down the front of the tank.

I figured he was an E because his coloring is very different than the others I have. The others all have pretty bright purple pinchers and a very red color, this one is more white with a blue pincher. I guess that could be him just getting ready to molt soon? I don't know I'm still new at this lol.

He is a beautiful purple pincher!!! E's typically have elongated eyes like so...

Ahh, well now I know what to look for lol. He's definitely an interesting looking PP then

i can see all your pictures. Your hermies are so adorable. any names for them yet? I named all of mine except one after greek goddess :roll: lol

uhh, the 2 that we had first the bigger one is Pinky, and I guess the smaller one that is down molting is Brain. I'm not sure on the others haha we just got them today.

Here is one of the items I picked up today, I have a few others still waiting to put in. I have to figure out a moss pit and how to secure it in the top of the tank somewhere and then I have some stuff to build bridge/ramps up to it and the tree and such.

Love it

At Petsmart in the reptile area. It was called Reptile Bonsai large or something. I love it too!








The current state of the crabitat and the newest big crab climbing the tree!

I have a container I stuck on the other side, it's hanging I just need to figure out how to get something over to it. I got some silk plants from Michaels but I'm just not sure I like them enough to use them. I can't figure out how to put them in the cage? They have a bunch of branches and stuff and just not sure how to make it look good and be functional for them.

Here's the plants I got

Ok I'm totally getting that! Thanks! I'm about to start a 20g and want plants and climbing stuff and didn't know exactly what to get

Noway that would fit in a 20g lol. There was a smaller one I believe though. It just barely fits in my 55g with about 10" or so of substrate.

You have one E and the rest are PP's. The E needs a species buddy so you might want to look for at least one more.

E's need DEEP sub and lots of digging space. Also make sure to feed them more protein and they also kike it a little warmer than what we would usually keep PP's at, but at the higher end of the safe range for PP, upper 80's are good.
